Homelessness & Housing Delivery Task Group

The Homelessness & Housing Delivery Task Group examines proposals to address homelessness and rough sleeping in King's Lynn and West Norfolk, making recommendations to the Environment & Community Panel. It focuses on the Council's role in delivering affordable housing and monitors performance against the Homelessness and Rough Sleeper Strategy.

The group scrutinises the Council's policies on homelessness prevention, including discretionary housing payments and the impact of Universal Credit. It also reviews approaches to affordable housing delivery and makes recommendations for improvement. The task group's work informs the Local Plan Review.
